United Kingdom, June 24 -- Tobias Menzies doesn't find Formula One very interesting.

The 51-year-old actor plays the APX GP board member Peter Banning in the new movie F1 but confessed that the sport didn't grab his attention when the cast and crew were shooting at Grand Prix events across the world.

Tobias told The Times newspaper: "It's a very strange world and, if I'm totally honest, as a spectator I didn't find it very gripping. When you're watching the track, sometimes you wouldn't know who had gone past.

"There's a crazy circus quality to it - these teams just land for three days in this place and then move on. It's like theatre on steroids."

The Crown actor recalled how he was taken aback during his first day working on the pic...
